Glad u mentioned the dash cam…I have a 23 iForceMAX and it’s so damn frustrating trying to connect and get the data in…the safe is a must. Nice truck btw!
I love my 1794. At first, I kind of regretted it because I wanted the Pro so badly. I searched even outside of my state but couldn't find one. Somehow, I ended up getting a white 1794. Later, I found out that the 1794 has a lot of things that the Pro doesn't, like automatic running boards, an automatic bed step, interior ambient lighting, and a dashcam. Getting a 1794 is like owning three different cars: you get a truck that can drive like a sports car with a luxurious SUV interior.I also noticed that when the bed is loaded with weight, it drives much smoother, which I think is due to the air suspension.
Glad you're still liking the TRD Pro. The ambient lighting is a head scratcher for me...I mean the 1794, Platinum, and Capstone have it why not the TRD pro? I had the same truck as you but after only 6 months I was done with it. I had a few other dislikes than you did not say. Interior cheapness feel. The interior felt cheap to me with creaky plastic everywhere. The drivers side seat side panel had a small crack and felt like it buckled every time I got in and out...ticking time bomb there. Center console squeak that I DIY fixed. Wireless phone charger is virtually non existent...never charges the phone. The biggest thing for me was the hybrid regen braking system. When ever I pressed down on the brake at whatever speed the system would make this high-pitched humming noise. Brought it to Toyota and they claimed that was normal (maybe it had something to do with the cold winter weather in New England...IDK). That made me hate driving the truck. Ended up trading it in for 2023 Raptor (my dream truck) and have never been happier. I still like the new Tundra but would not go back to one now.
I’ve actually noticed every single thing you mentioned! Lol yeah Toyota dropped the ball with the lack of ambient lighting. Not really sure about the thought process there. I do notice the center console squeak but it’s inconsistent. Definitely a lot of plastic lol. I love the raptor but my experience with my F150 with Ford along with current complaints from friends makes me hesitant to even look that way. But it’s definitely a great looking truck!
Nice truck. Great video. Hope to see you do a bunch more videos about it. I love the new styling of the new Tundra's but like most guys, I am weary of the turbo V6. But if anyone can make them solid I would think it would be Toyota. I just bought a 2021 Tundra TRD off road in the cement color. I had to have the V8. Good luck with everything.
Great purchase! That V8 is second to none. Congrats! And definitely more videos to come whenever I get the Tundra back. Stay tuned and thanks for watching 👍
When you’re paying $80k plus for a fully loaded Tundra, you would expect the features to be consistent across trims. Off road capable doesn’t mean it has to lack features. Plus, I usually just take my s2000 to the mall and the GR Corolla Circuit Edition to Starbucks, so I think I’ll be fine 😉
Great video. I actually have watched all of your Tundra videos and think you did a great job covering the truck. As a 2021 TRD Pro owner there is nothing in this new truck for me that justifies the $20-25K increase in cost for a new truck. I for one have a real problem with the entry cost to these new Tundra's. I know Bidenflation has destroyed the entire economy including the truck industry, but I don't see the $20-25K value added to these vehicles. Glad you enjoyed it and best of luck with your channel.
Not too bad considering I know V8 tundra owners with less lol. But I only hope my hits 165k and more. Only then will I think the skepticism about this hybrid powertrain’s longevity will resolve
I’ve seen the solar octane in person and it’s a beautiful color! Especially with the fact that it’s the exclusive color for the TRD pro just adds more value. If I didn’t get lunar rock, I would have wen twice Solar octane. Lost interest in the black lol
Thank you! Fred Haas Toyota has actually be great in terms of addressing any issues or concerns that I had. The other complaints (ambient lighting for example) may not be addressed as easily. But overall, very happy with Toyota’s responsiveness in terms of addressing concerns 👍
Hey brotha still love the tundra the lighting in the truck is lacking a lot… the regular TRD sport or off road I believe gets slightly better gas we averaged about 19 mpg on ours best we got is about 21 have you had any rattlers in yours ?
Hey man hope all is well! That’s actually really impressive! Maybe environment, roads, elevation, etc may play a role? I say that because I don’t know what else to Lmaoo. And yes, I actually do hear rattles here and there but nothing to the point where I can’t stand it. Nothing a little loud music can’t address 😂. How are you liking your truck?
I’ve had my 23 limited for 6 months now about to hit 11k miles she’s been good but a lot shop visits to get warranty work done but other than that I’ve averaging about 21 mpg throughout my ownership and a trip I from okc to dallas yesterday yielded 26 mpg going 70-75 mph this truck can be better if toyota picks up the pace 😂 like how are our rear brakes still squealing. I got the 2wd model for most terrain its okay only once I gotten stuck but some railroad ties got me out 😂
Bro we cant see anything while in the truck, I know you called out the poor lighting but then maybe bring some lighting into the truck to finish the vid.
Yes sir! Fair enough haha. Yeah man it was a last minute video to be honest as I actually had availability. Wont be awhile till you guys see my Tundra. I’ll explain on the next video 😬
@@johnnysifuentes4188 Not at all man! I too thought the video was dark. But it’s been months since I posted a Tundra video so it was now or never 😂. Promise next ones will be done during the day 🤙🏻
@@shameerkhan6118 It’s such a great truck! Driving experience puts a smile on my face everyday. Before my truck was recalled, I tried to find reasons to drive it everywhere 😁. The 1794 has a much better interior than the TRD Pro in my opinion. Great choice my friend
Toyota vehicle will improve mpg in first 20k or so . 6k is nothing. Mpg improvement over V8 would mainly be due to the extra ratios of the 10 speed on highway. Stop start driving it won’t result in much improvement.
@@TristanGrimaldo Don’t get too excited. Given the same driving conditions it would be no more than 1 mpg. Driving style is a big factor, turbo engine one should be using the low end torque.Engine should rarely see more than 2k rpm in normal driving. Everything in the drivetrain of a new vehicle is new and needs to wear in , that takes more than a few miles, with these intelligent transmissions it takes about 2k miles for it to settle in the programming.
Those who have known me for a long time are saying the same thing 😂. But I really have every intent of keeping this truck. If I get rid of it, it’s because I have to (major issues, etc.)
You didn’t put too many miles on it. My TRD pro got 16k miles on it already. So far love it.
Only recently became my daily driver. I’m sure I’ll catch up 😂
Glad u mentioned the dash cam…I have a 23 iForceMAX and it’s so damn frustrating trying to connect and get the data in…the safe is a must. Nice truck btw!
Glad to know I’m not the only one! Congratulations on your truck!

The 1794 is an amazing trim ❤️
I have 2023 TRD pro. I will never trade for any other trucks. Keeperrrr!
Love it!

Buys a off road truck and complains about ambient lighting. How are you gonna survive the mall and Starbucks? LoL

At this price it should have it all. This ain’t some clapped out decade old wrangler

truck looks incredible!
Definitely agree with you there 🙂
17.1 mpg's is real good, I have a 2014 tundra trd with 165k miles and I'm getting 13.5 mpg.
Not too bad considering I know V8 tundra owners with less lol. But I only hope my hits 165k and more. Only then will I think the skepticism about this hybrid powertrain’s longevity will resolve
I have 2023 TRD Pro solar octain. Not gonna lie I wish I had a lunnar rock. And also I agree the webcam sucks.
I’ve seen the solar octane in person and it’s a beautiful color! Especially with the fact that it’s the exclusive color for the TRD pro just adds more value. If I didn’t get lunar rock, I would have wen twice Solar octane. Lost interest in the black lol
Great video, and content, have they addressed any of your "complaints" with the 2023?

Time to upgrade to that Solar Octane?! 😜
Wouldn’t mind that haha 😁
Is yours a hybrid? If so how do you like it?
Hybrid and absolutely love it!
I’ve had my 23 limited for 6 months now about to hit 11k miles she’s been good but a lot shop visits to get warranty work done but other than that I’ve averaging about 21 mpg throughout my ownership and a trip I from okc to dallas yesterday yielded 26 mpg going 70-75 mph this truck can be better if toyota picks up the pace 😂 like how are our rear brakes still squealing.

Wow that’s solid numbers! Yeah I had some early warranty work as well but since then it’s been good to me. Congrats on the truck!
You haven’t had issues with premature tire wear? Toyota replaced mine after 15k miles
Fortunately I have not. What did they end up doing?
Bro we cant see anything while in the truck, I know you called out the poor lighting but then maybe bring some lighting into the truck to finish the vid.
Yes sir! Fair enough haha. Yeah man it was a last minute video to be honest as I actually had availability. Wont be awhile till you guys see my Tundra. I’ll explain on the next video 😬
Great review though, sorry if I came off like an a-hole. Thanks for your review. @@TristanGrimaldo

i wait 14 moths for my 1794 and has the lights
Congrats! 1794 is an amazing trim and I have seen the lighting in it. I think it looks great!
@TristanGrimaldo thanks man I wait long and I'm enjoying it already at 3k miles 😭
